Thought I'd step in since I asked. Thanks for replying.

If you have a religion based on something else, it may indeed be compatible with science.-My religious theory based on science alone is that God is an eternal universal consciousness existing at the quantum level of reality. I do not accept the God of the Bible. After Medical school I was an agnostic.-> 
> George: But science has shown that all the necessities for life to begin were in existence ready for abiogenesis to occur.-I disagree. How many amino acids were present? Based on the Murchison meteorite analysis, only eight. How about the chirality problem? Where were the enzymes, and how do you polymerize in water, as examples of the problems involved? Some of the current theories start with the assumption that RNA somehow appeared. This is why Shapiro postulated ( in 2007 before his death) a more simple energy cycle, mainly inorganic to start with. My usual statement still fits: after 65+ years we only know what does not work.
